A SERIOUS CHARGE.
But Like Every Other Case It Has
Two Sides.
Philip Schwaitz. an Old Torge store
keeper, was held by Alderman Kasson
vesterday to answer at court tho
charge of luiuing sixteen-year-old
Mary Ilerko. The prosecutor. Michael
Cljefjek, an unele of the giil, alleges
that his niece worked nt Sclnvartz'3
house and that she was taken from
theio to the Hansom poor faun, where
she gave birth to n child; that Schwaitz
acknowledged being Its father and that
for a time ho paid for Its suppoit. For
some time the gill nnd her child have
been missing, and tho uncle, believing
that Schwaitz knows of their w here
abouts, Instituted theso pioceedlngs to
make him reveal what has become of
them nnd tnke care of them.
Schwaitz avers that the prosecution
Is a piece of spite work and In sub
stantiation of this statement evhlblts

the prosecutor before Alderman Millar

HAS NO AUTHORITY
FOR WTERFERENCE
COURT, IT IS CLAIMED, HAS NO
JURISDICTION IN CASE.
Winton School Board Says That the
Law Gives Them Discretionary
Power in Awnrdlng Building Con
tracts nnd That No Court in the
Land Can Step in nnd Toll Them
Which is the "Lowest Responsible
Bidder" Other Matteis That Cnmo
Up in Court.
A final hearing was hnd yesterday
inclining bcfoie Judge l.'duaids In the
Winton school boaid case. Watson .v;
Ulehl appeared for tho complainants
and I. II. Hums and James J. O'Mnlley
for tho defendants.
This li the equity suit bi ought by
Hugene Taylor and Chatles H. Humett
to enjoin the 'Winton school board from
accepting tho highest bid on the elec
tion of a new school house.
Collins & ntennon bid JlO.Slo; Dun
iiiiuu Luinbcr ooinpnny, J10.715; Peck
Lumber toinpaiiy, ,760. A majority
of the board voted to nward tho con
tract lo Collins & Urcnniin and that
111 in has had the foundation wnlta
built. The complainants came to couit
nnd seiured a preliminary Injunction
lcsti .lining the contractors from pro
tiedlng with tho woik and a rule on
the board to show cause why It bad not
utcepted the lowest bid.
After a couple of weeks the boaid
came Into couit and, admitting that it
had not nctcd tho part of wisdom,
asked to have the Injunction made per
manent and saving that It had rescind
ed its former action and awaided the
contract to the Peck Lumber company.
After another couple of weeks the
board rescinded Its tesclndlng resolu
tion and tame Into court again, asking
to have tho equity case reinstated.
Judge 1'dwnrds agreed and yesterday
the arguments weie heaid.
COMPLAINAVT' ALLEGATION.
The complainants could only nlloge
that the action of the boaid was un-
wNe. The defendunts nnsweicd that n
school board can do us It pleases In
such matteis, under nuthoilty of the
law which gives It power to award a
contract to the "lowest icsponsiblc bid
der." That's what the boaid did, tho de
fendants urgued, and no touit in the
land, they ilalmed, could Intel fere with
their cxeiclse of their discretion ns to
which wii the lowest responsible bld
dei. Whether or not u couit of equity
inn so interfere Is what Judge Hd
wauls will have to decide. He expects
to give his adjudication befoie tho
close of the present week, so that work
on the school house may be pioceedcd
w 1th.
In an oquitv suit filed with Piothono
tniy Copelatid, esteiday, Mrs. Mary
Katly, ot Dunmore, lavs unusual and
Interesting grounds for her piajcr for
lellef
Slip seeks to have court cancel a
moi tRiigo on her $l,r)00 lot on Grove
street, held hv Michael Kane, alleging
that the moitguge was obtained
tluougli deceit and fiaud nnd without
any valuable eonskleiatlon.
In ISO.', when she wns about to be
come tho wife of John lnrly, sho
was waited upon bv her flunce and
Michael Kane and advised to sign over
her piopeity to some ti listed ft lend, as
It was llublo to be seized upon by
Haily's creditois when she became his
wife. She mortgaged It to Kane.
LKFT Hi:n HUSBAND.
Six months ago she left her husband
because of alleged cruel treatment and
has since Instituted proceedings to se
cure divorce from him. Thiown on her
own resources, she sought to recover
control of her pioperty but Kune would
not remove the Incumbrance. To com
pl him to do this, she brings the suit.
She says Flic veilly believes that
theie wns un Intent on Karly's part to
deceive her and that Kane wns aw aio
of It at the time
Vague and indefinite boundaries, re
sulting from carelessness of old-time
sunevors and land-owners, gave Judge
l'dwards a hard nut to ciack. It came
to htm in the shape of a suit between
W. G. Sillier ns plaintiff nnd J. W.
Cure and George W. Cramer, defend
ants. Both parties derived title to land
In Blakely from Ira Hartwell. In mak
ing the deed to Miller for a 110 ncro
plot, Hartwell reserved a pnit of it
known ns the "Oakley coal bed," bound
ed by adjoining properties on two sides
and "on the remaining sides by tho
outcrop of the conglomerate rock,"
"containing four and one-halt acres,
more or less."
LAND IT CONTAINnD.
This reserved plot was later sold by
Haitwell to the defendants and the
map of it that ho gnve them showed
It to contnln nbout eighteen ncies.
The tnsk sot before Judgo Hdwnrds
was to fix the disputed boundaiy. Tho
plaintiff showed a second ledge of con
glomerate to exist that would narrow
the pint down to about "four and one
hulf acres." but It was not a well-defined
ledge nnd In the opinion of the
Judge wns not taken as n boundaty.
The unbioken clearly-defined ledges
enclosing the eighteen acres weio ac
cepted by the couit as tho boundailes
that weie meant. Nutuial monuments
are to bo prefened to all other means
of determining boundailes, the Judgo
decided.

Legal Battle.
Slow progress Is being made with the
trial of the equity suit of tho West
Hldge Coal compnny against C. S. Von
Storch and others.
All of yesterday v.ai occupied with
tho presentation of testimony tending
to show that the mine was faulty, that
the coal was of such poor quality aB to
be scarcely maikctnblo nnd tlint the
company diligently nnd energetically
strove to mlno as laigo mi output us

The appended statement fiom Major
C. H. Parko, lonccinlnt? his nrrest nt
Camp Meade will be of Interest to his
friends In this city. It Indicates that
his niiest Is but nnother of the long
series of blunders that has mniked the
ninnngement of vurious branches of
tho war department. Major Pnrkc ex
planation Is as follows:
Second Division Hospital.
Camp Meade, Sept-12th, 1WS.
LMItor of The Tribune.
Sir: It having been leported to mo
that the Scranton papers publish or
have published the fact of my being
under uricst and nbout to he tried by
court-mni Hal on account of disobed
ience ot ordeis, I feel that In Justice to
myself some explanation should be
made nnd If you will kindly allow mo
the space In your columns I wish you
would publish tho following state
ment. When a soldier is sent away from his
command either by tiansfer to some
other branch of the service or to a gen
eral hospital or asylum, a paper called
a. Descriptive list Is sent with him.
This paper after describing the man
goes on to state when he wns last paid,
how much clothing allowance has been
drawn, etc., etc. When the Descriptive
list Is made out and sent with the
soldier his name Is dropped from his
company books nnd taken up by the
company or Institution to which ho Is
tr.uisfeirod.
way tiihy wnni: considered.
Since regimental hospitals were done
nwnv with and merged Into the divis
ion hospitals, patients sent to the di
vision hosnltals were tieated ns though
lu their respective leglmental hospitals
that Is, carried on the leglmental and
company books as "sick In hospltni
nnd such being tho ease no Descrip
tive list was sent to the division hos
pital. These weie the onleis I lecelved
while at Camp Alger acting as Third
Bilgade surgeon and 1 wns instructed
to lnfoini my regimental suigeons not
to send Descilptlvc lists unless pa
tients weio sent fiom the division hos
pital to some general hopltal like Foit
M vcr.
When I wns made "surgeon In charge"
of the hospital ut Cainp Alger it was
about ono week befoie coming to Cump
Meade and dining that week I do not
lemember of having bad a Descilptlvc
list offered at the hospital. AVhen I
came to Cump Meade and took eharge
of the Second Division hospital I found
tlint Major Jackson, whom I relieved,
had lecelved the same orders that I
had and when a Desctlpthe list was
sent with a patient he letuined the
list to tho company commander from
whom the patient came I continued the
piactlce of so doing and letuined anj
where from six to a dozen such lists
which were sent out of two or three
hundred patients admitted.
it seems that on August 14 nu order
was Issued changing this and indeilng
that all patients sent to tho Division
Hospital should be accompanied with
a Descilptlvc list. This older I never
saw or heaid of and It Is not on file In
the hospital order book. It was an order
thut was not understood or fully dls
tiibuted as Is moved by the company
olllcers not sending on an average more
thnn one Descriptive list In twenty-live
patients.
HAD A DESCHIPTIVE I T.
On Sept. 3 a patient fiom th Second
West Virginia Heglment came to tho
hospital with a Descriptive list I ad
mitted tho patient but sent back the
list with the Information that I did not
want tho list and would not accept It.
On the morning of September 10 I le
celved nn order plnclng ine under ai
rest on account of disobeying orders In
that I would not lecelve the list of this
Second West Virginia man on Sept. 3.
As yet I have been unable to get a
copy of the order that 1 dlsobeied I
am really under airest for obeying the
last order which I received. 1 do not

Window Shades
A little extra impulse to be given the shade department,
by means of a little price lessening. We come pretty
near being headquarters for Window Shades. The only
reason we can give tor it is a little more attention to detail
and a little lower prices than elsewhere. We offer one lot
of loose pieces of shading at your own price, or choose from
these ready-made shades:

CONSTABLE IS MISSING.
No
Returns Made from the Peace
Protector of tho Tenth.
Court yesterday handed down n rulo
on Constublo Frederick Blelfcldt, ot
tho Tenth wnrd, to compel him to bIiow
cause why he did not niako Ills returns
on Monday last.
It appears that parties who had re
quested the constable to make certain
returns are responsible for tho order.
Whether It was Ids unwillingness to
make theso returns or a matter of for
getfulness on his part that Is respon
sible for his failure to put In un up
pcarnnce, Monday, will develop doubt
lessly when tho hearing on the tulo
takes plucc.
